What does your Spaceship look like?

Hey guys,

I'm curious about character's spaceships and what they look like from the outside.

I'm not completely aware if there is a canonical look for exterior ships. They do have designs and different types like corvette and destroyers but I'm wondering what people are imagining their own ship looks like.

    The cannon is uh, on the underside or something.  ;)

    Mine, well, it looks like a spaceship. I can't really describe it. It's the starter ship at the moment, so it's small and lean looking. Not extremely small, probably as small as the Falcon, but not so bulky looking either. It has a build in the shape of a pencil with some meat on it. A pointed tip near the front and gets bigger at the end. With a single cannon on the front.

    That's kind of how I visualize my starter ship, just without the big side engines.

    If you wanted to, you could probably produce an external view model of your ship on one of your refit rooms, which would be used in-character as a damage-report/map, and describe your ship that way.

    I keep trying different things but all my ships end up looking roughly the same...

    Given that I'm in the middle of watching DS9, I pretty much just picture my interceptor looking like one of their runabout shuttles. Though, being named Trouble, I guess I should describe it as just looking absolutely nothing like Serenity.

    I like that idea. A kind of ‘outside of your ship’ room, describing the ship.
    It might seem a bit strange if you moved to the room midflight but still a great way to role play your character (and any guests) to stand outside your vessel.

    What do you mean by damage-report, though?

    What I meant by this was to have a hologram podium that shows the outside of your ship in one of the in-the-ship rooms, which would be used to direct people around your ship or produce a map of damaged systems. This was the idea I had to get around the "outside the ship in space" problem.

    So something like this.

    Got my starter interceptor that's supposed to look a bit like a Bajoran assault craft, with forward-swept wings and a swooshy, bird-like shape.

    Working on a freighter that's going to be more spear-like, or scepter-like. Big, diamond shaped bit fore, long, narrow storage areas aft.

    Come one, come all W'hoorn, to the Cultural Exchange where we can talk about being catbird klingons!

    @Fyrel okay I like that idea better.
  • bairlochbairloch Member Posts: 373 ✭✭✭
    still the starter. I'll get creative when I can afford my own.
  • PoetPoet Member Posts: 122 ✭✭✭
    I still just have the starter too. I picture it more or less as the Gallente shuttle from EVE.

    Once I get my Kurovani Stalker 'vette I imagine it'll look like this:

    I role-played my starter craft as a gag gift from my character's cousin, who de ided to send off my character's voyages with a ship in the shape of a giant cow...

    Nykara's personal Corvette, or so.

    On this ship, you are to refer to me as "idiot," not "you captain"!

    (Not really, since I'm not even sure what the basic ship models look like or if they even bothered to add that. But that's about how I felt about the interceptor)
